National Holstein Convention

It’s with great pride that the committee and Holstein breeders from the Montreal region invite Holstein Canada members to participate in their National Convention. The breeders from the Montreal area will welcome you from April 12 to 15, 2023, at the Sheraton Center, with an awesome program!

With the theme A Legendary Experience, our activities take place over the course of 3 days and will celebrate the best of the Canadian Holsteins.

The first day will bring you to Victoriaville for the Quebec Spring show where you will see an exciting show with the best exhibitors in the country. As Montreal is a hockey city, this special day will be followed up a visit to the Bell Center for the Canadien’s last game of the season where the Habs will face their legendary rivals: The Boston Bruins. This isn’t an activity you’ll to miss out on!

At the next day’s farm tours, you’ll have the opportunity to visit some of the best managed herds in the Quebec South-West region, where you’ll be able to experience the legendary dynamics of our breeders. This day will follow up with an exciting event where the Tim Brink band’s live performance will make you want to get up and dance!

On April 15, Holstein Canada’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) will give members a chance to be informed about the activities that took place during the year, learn about the direction of the association. This meeting will also give members a chance to participate in discussions surrounding the resolutions proposed by members, and have their voices heard.

By rewarding the recipients of the most prestigious honorary title of the association during the Master Breeders Gala, Holstein Canada will make legends of nearly 20 member farms by recognizing their perseverance and their accomplishments.

You are cordially invited to join us in Montreal for the 2023 National Holstein Convention from April 12 to 15. Get ready for a legendary experience!
